Starting Friday, May 18, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society's Cinema Art Theater will present “Let the Sunshine In,” a wholly original take on the romantic comedy by one of the greatest filmmakers working today.
Juliette Binoche delivers a luminous performance in the deliciously witty, sensuously romantic new film from acclaimed director Claire Denis. Isabelle (Binoche) is a divorced Parisian painter searching for another shot at love, but refusing to settle for the parade of all-too-flawed men who drift in and out of her life. There's a caddish banker (Xavier Beauvois) who, like many of her lovers, happens to be married; a handsome actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle) who's working through his own hang-ups; and a sensitive fellow artist (Alex Descas) who's skittish about commitment. What reads like a standard romantic comedy premise is transformed, in the hands of master filmmaker Denis, into something altogether deeper, more poignant, and perceptive about the profound mysteries of love.
Screening times are 4 and 7 p.m., Friday, May 18; 4 and 7 p.m., Saturday, May 19; 4 p.m., Sunday, May 20; 1 and 4 p.m., Monday, May 21; 4 and 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 23; and 4 and 7 p.m., Thursday, May 24. Admission is $8 for members and $11 for future members. Customers are encouraged to purchase tickets online. If seats are available, tickets can be purchased at the theater, starting 30 minutes prior to each screening.
